1) If you've eaten too many zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, I recommend Chenpi (dried tangerine peel) and Hawthorn water to relieve the richness. Chenpi can invigorate the spleen and stomach, while Hawthorn can resolve food stagnation. Boil 5 grams each of Chenpi and Hawthorn in water to resolve indigestion caused by eating zongzi. Children can also consume this.
